My favorite new album is from Puscifer. Puscifer is a project from Maynard of Tool and it is an extremely original piece of work.
My favorite song from this album is Indigo Children. I have included the lyrics before. This song touches me to the core and sets a chill down my spine in anticipation of …. of what? We'll see.
If you find yourself in a record store online or off, I recommend this album. It only cost me 9.99 at Best Buy. Yeah, I know it's odd that I actually bought media…
Indigo Children by Puscifer
EMP from the mother and son
tore the digital down
dawn of the age of the innocent ones
the indigo children
(when the indigo children come)
the indigo children
(when the indigo children come)
the indigo children
(when the indigo children come)
the indigo children

EMP from the mother and sun
tore the digital down
dawn of the age of the innocent ones
the indigo children
Analog timepiece
sky wide
sing to the ticker inside
move to the rhythm of the moon and tide
the indigo children
Serious Venus and the lunar child
giggle as the flames grow higher
dance in a circle around a central fire
the indigo children

Clothes, shelter and seed
No more need for the old empire

“Why is it, Diogenes, that pupils leave you to go to other teachers, but rarely do they leave them to come to you?”
“Because,” replied Diogenes, “one can make eunuchs out of men, but no one can make a man out of eunuchs”.

So many will bury this post because we are just tired of hearing of impeachment. Kind of a savvy, although unintentional, move on the part of the Right to impeach Clinton for such petty and absurd reasons. Now no one takes it seriously.
But what I am tired of hearing, personally, is this talk of impeachment being ‘on the table’ or not.
Being a pioneer in advanced techniques of genetic memory, I was able to pose the question to a Zen monk of the 18th century. His response was probably the best one I have heard yet. he said, “There is no table.”
That is all that I have to say about that.

When the Constitutional Convention closed in 1787, a lady asked Benjamin Franklin, “Well Doctor what have we got a republic or a monarchy?”
Franklin replied: “A republic, if you can keep it.

This so-called President has gone too far. Commuting Libby for cheap political points is absolutely unconscionable. I have a deep and enduring disgust for this Administration. We are getting to the point where IMPEACHMENT is starting to look like the mildest punishment available. This act has taken what is already an unendurable disaster (The Last Six Years Under this Tyrant) and has completely pushed the situation to the point where something must be done.
After countless deaths in the name of this President’s policies, after the erosion of the very fabric of the democracy that America now holds up as a cheap facade, after the sneering, swaggering bluster this President condescends with, why is this the last straw? Simply because it is a symbol of the disdain for the law, accountability and decency that this Administration displays. This is exactly what Bush intends to do: get away with it all. With a smirk. He is broadcasting the future for us: Libby is the entire Bush Administration getting away with Murder.
Are we going to let them do that?
At what point do we realize that the process put this man in power? The process must be questioned and new tactics must be adopted.
Commuting Libby is the act of a despot. As we celebrate Independence Day, consider the possibility that 231 years has just replaced one King George with another.

Maybe you care, maybe you don’t. Here they are anyway. Import them into your google reader and purge what you do not want.

I know.
Or, I do not know.
But I do not believe.

By now, it has just become yet another scar. We move on. We grow.

Ann Coulter is a fucking moron. I think we should send her to Iraq and use her as body armor.

The point.
The line.
The plane.
The numeral 1.
The numeral 2.
The numeral 3.
The numeral 4.
The numeral 5.
The numeral 6.
The numeral 7.
The numeral 8.
The numeral 9.
The numeral 0.
All of these are abstract concepts that are accepted on faith. That is, consensual definitions. Truly, they are effective. Truly, they achieve things. Truly, they do not exist in the entire cosmos except as the result of the human mind. They are abstractions. They posses no physical reality. They do not exist in the material universe. This is precisely the objection that so-called scientists have to religion.
They object that the fundamental premises of religion are faith based and they do not exist in the material world. Show me god, they say. Show me the spirit, they say. I say show me a 5. No, not the symbol of a 5. No, not 5 things. These are indirect and are not 5 itself. Show me 5. You can not. It does not exist. Except for one instance: I and you accept that it exists and begin our operations based upon that consensual agreement.
It is the epistemological basis of all language. Humans can not separate themselves from the cosmos and objectively analyze it. It is impossible. Nice goal, but it isn’t going to happen. You are a part of the experiment. You bring your entire civilization’s collective consciousness with you.
And the worst expression of this is the dogmatic scientists. The corporate scientists. I equate a corporate scientist with the ugliest most disgusting fundamentalist evangelical mega-church figurehead; paid, with an agenda: to make money. To advance a dogma, not to discover a truth. To these people, truth is subservient to the Bottom Line. Science becomes nothing more than a rhetorical tool to advance a goal. Marketing. Public Relations. Just like the worst kind of religion. It advances a dogmatically determined social structure. Posits it as the only possible alternative and then bases all of its findings off of that pre-determined conclusion.
This is both the opposite of science and the opposite of religion. I defend neither religion nor science. I dispute the need for neither science nor religion. Both are effective and useful. But I do not care how many iterations of checking and double checking, confirmation and verification you do, you still have premises that are based on Abstractions of the Human Consciousness. Whether you are a Scientist or a Priest, you can not escape that. And, therefore, you have no claim on Absolute Truth. You only have claim on a Perspective.
So do not try to tell me there is absolute scientific evidence of anything. We knew how to make fire long before we understood combustion. And understanding combustion does not mean we understand light or energy. We have a perspective. You have a perspective. That is all. You are welcome to the arrogance of thinking it is more than that, but do not expect me to be fooled.
And do not try to tell me there is an absolute word of god. All you have is words that you have interpreted. Like as not, you do not even have the experience that informs those words. You have a perspective. That is all. In your spiritual Pride, you can tell me what right is and what wrong is, but you do not know the ultimate consequences of all things. So pretend to your arrogance.
But, again, I am not fooled.
